Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Totally Spies! has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 06:06, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Dogmaticeclectic, it's not clear from your impersonal template how my edit summary was inaccurate or inappropriate, or more importantly, how my edit summary materially differed from the edit summary you left, that you felt a warning was necessary. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:12, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm objecting to this portion of the edit summary in question: "Restoring status quo." Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 06:17, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Ohhhhhh. And? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:27, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

What I mean is that the actual status quo was what I restored. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 06:30, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Point noted. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:36, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Please note that your latest edit summary at the article is also inaccurate - if you're going to use quotation marks, you really should make sure that what is between them is actually correct. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 04:24, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Should I? Why? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:30, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

If you want to paraphrase, you shouldn't use quotation marks. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 04:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Is that in the MOS? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:33, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm simply referring to the purpose of quotation marks in general - unless, of course, you were using scare quotes, but that would be a WP:CIVILITY violation (and a WP:AGF violation on my part to assume it). Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 04:38, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't know what scare quotes are. You said that I "really should make sure that what is between them is actually correct". Why should I really make sure that what is between them is actually correct? It seemed important enough for you to say it, and I asked you a direct question about it, but you never answered that question. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Sigh... it's important enough because you are misusing quotation marks, you're quoting me, and I object to it. Also, you could have simply looked up the article on scare quotes - we're on Misplaced Pages after all. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 04:45, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Sigh... I could have looked it up, but it was your hypothetical scenario, and since you're motivated to educate me, that should include a complete lesson. As for what you "object to", you don't genuinely expect other editors to be sympathetic to your objections when you attempt to micromanage those same editors' decisions and issue unnecessary reprimands for non-critical oversights, do you? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't think I have anything further to say on this matter. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 05:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

List of Totally spies characters

I put flagicon near the voice actors of characters but I put the country flag according to there country and would you like me to link you when I put new recurring characters (New research)From:User:Tristan.andrade.136

@Tristan.andrade.136: I'm having difficulty understanding what you are telling me/asking me. If you are referring to this edit (for example), I'd say that this is probably not an appropriate use of flagicons. The prose section of articles should be written in prose. It's also important to note that we need to make our articles accessible for those with limited vision, so flag icons may not achieve this. A good rule of thumb: If you're not editing lists of boxing or other sports statistics, you should probably avoid using flag icons.

The Nightmare Room response and TMNT

I have read your message revolving around the edits for The Nightmare Room revolving around your prevention of overlinks (which I haven't been doing lately over on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles page). Though on The Nightmare Room page, I had to put the opening narration over the episodes section and elaborated more on narrations provided by James Avery (the original Shredder back in the 1980s series). As for the 2012 version of TMNT, I had previously moved Sir Malachi to the supporting characters section since the creators didn't confirm if he was friend or foe. As for Tiger Claw, I can't say what tiger he is. That will be for his debut to decide. Are you looking forward to the debut of some new characters once the second half of TMNT's season 2 begins? Did I also leave anything out of this discussion? Rtkat3 (talk) 10:01, December 27 2013 (UTC)

Totally Spies Country

How do they choose totally spies country of origin I mean how do choose the country please reply to me when you get the time to reply From:User:Tristan.andrade.136

@Tristan.andrade.136: Hi Tristan, I don't think I understand your question. The country of origin is typically the country that produces the show. If the show is a joint venture between two companies, and the companies are in different countries, then there would be two countries of origin. So if Totally Spies is made by a French company, the country of origin would be France. If it's a Canadian show, the country of origin would be Canada. If both companies produce the show, France and Canada would be the countries of origin. For more information about the infobox, see Template:Infobox_television. Did that help? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:08, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

thanks for your professionalism

you showed great professionalism in your recent letter to me about reverting the smith and wesson 422 wiki page, especially your comment about my mental capacities for reasoning. i will probably not attempt to assist wiki in any way ever in the future due to you and the experience of this. hopefully your lack of restraint in containing your personal feelings and this outburst was merely your possible aversion to the topic of guns and what might be considered a Freudian slip on your part. i can only hope you do not disrespect everyone that improperly attempts to honestly and genuinely assist wiki on other topics as well. please have a happy holiday and a happy new-year cyphoid-bomb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.189.18 (talk) 07:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

@99.249.189.18: I mentioned nothing about your ability to reason, I criticized your attempt to personalize a live article by drawing attention to yourself, a criticism I stand by, as you would neither expect to open a printed encyclopedia and read that Joe in Your-State-Here once owned a 422, nor would you expect to open a TVGuide and read "Joe likes this show". I invited you to resubmit your edit with proper sourcing and without the unnecessary self-promotion. The use of the word "absurd" was not my best choice. I apologize for that. Your armchair psychoanalysis of me is way off, though. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:43, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

UPDATE: In retrospect, I was hasty to revert your edit, and have restored the bulk of it minus the personalization, because I do believe your efforts were in good faith, although I did not assume that at the time. I apologize. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 08:06, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

About Camp Lazlo...

I think adding original channel metaphors were stupid but Boomerang WILL start airing Camp Lazlo soon.

Don't believe me? Look up a TV Guide or Boomerang listing. --209.243.22.104 (talk) 14:18, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

(Reminder: Same person, I forgot to log in.) In fact, I have proof... http://www.locatetv.com/listings/boomerang#06-Jan-2014 --MattBoo (talk) 15:40, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

@MattBoo: Hey m'man, thanks for the note. I don't doubt that Boomerang will rerun the series. My revert had nothing to do with right vs. wrong. A common problem editors find in articles, particularly articles involving children's television, is that they are rarely, if ever, sourced, and when they are sourced, the sources are usually poor. (Facebook posts, Wikia, blogs like Nickandmore.com, rumors) So please don't take it personally that your edit was reverted--there are a lot of rules at Misplaced Pages. Future events need to be properly sourced per WP:CRYSTAL. I can't vouch for the reliability of locatetv.com, and there seem to be some questions about its suitability as a source. Please remember that Misplaced Pages is not a live news source, and that there is no rush to submit information, which means we can take our time and wait for a reliable source instead of posting whispers. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

The thing is, I couldn't find any other source. --MattBoo (talk) 00:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

@MattBoo: Yeah, that can be annoying. Since Misplaced Pages is not TV Guide, there's no necessity that we include the information, especially before Boomerang starts airing those eps. If the eps air, then it might be worthy of inclusion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Advice from a new user to another new user, on the Help Desk

Hi Cyphoidbomb,

I find the response by Nechlison to this question worrying. Why is a user who has contributed to only one article, giving rather assertive advice to another? I don't know what is behind this, and I don't feel qualified to intervene, but I would appreciate your views. Maproom (talk) 21:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey @Maproom:, oh, I agree! That account went on the radar quickly when I saw it earlier today. (In fact, his brand new User Page badges inspired me to help a few people at {{helpme}} today.) I'm not an admin, so the best I can do is AGF, (maybe he was a long-term IP editor), and periodically check in on his progress. :D Keep me posted, and I'll do the same! UPDATE: Oh, and I forgot the copy-pasted article on Piezoelectric whatchamacallits. The red flag is a-waving in the air. When I checked earlier, I didn't find any "piezoelectric" mention at WP:SPI. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

hey Guys! Whats up? Won't you welcome me ?  :) Nechlison (talk) 08:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

To link Piezoelectric network for smart roads

I tried to link Piezoelectric network for smart roads to this article see https://en.wikipedia.org/Piezoelectricity in Application section , but it have gone vanished from its original position see https://en.wikipedia.org/Piezoelectric_network_for_smart_roads and haven't moved to desired target. Can you please help me out ? Nechlison (talk) 16:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Sure, if you check the article edit history, you'll notice that the page was blanked for containing plagiarized content. When you created the article here, it contained content copied verbatim from here. Hope that helps, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok. As this article is related to Piezoelectricity, can I fix it in its Reference section? Nechlison (talk) 17:00, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand what your question is. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The article I created is actually related to piezoelectric and piezoelectricity , Since it is nominated for deletion. Now Can I make it as reliable source for these articles such as piezoelectricity by fixing it in their reference section ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nechlison (talk • contribs) 17:19, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Again, I don't understand what you are asking me. It's not clear what you want to fix, or what you want to use as a reliable source. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

i mean can i put the link as source of citation or as external links to the article piezoelectricity from where i created my article piezoelectric network for smart roads  ? Nechlison (talk) 17:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Your question still lacks specificity. What is "the link" that you are referring to? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:48, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Removing AfD template

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Gqunukhwebe. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot I _Online 22:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

For my own record, I removed an AfD template that *I* applied to an article. The bot didn't seem to remember me. Sniff! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Christopher Karas

Actually, it's also G4. (I'm glad someone thought it A7.) I deleted it before, so I want an uninvolved admin to look at it. An anon who removed the old afd note also removed your speedy tag. I will revert that as vandalism. Dlohcierekim 06:16, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Dloh! While I applaud the kid in the article, the behavior of the IP is juvenile and is of course crossing lines. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:22, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

what I need is what he needs-- someone uninvolved needs to have a look. Maybe he'll add enough sourcing as to negate the AfD rationale. Dlohcierekim 06:38, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm only "involved" because he posted a {{help me}} template. I was just doing my rounds. I didn't even realize until a minute ago that his textwall help request where every other word is "Workingharderthanever" is a series of posts that he is basically signing, and then double-signing. What a mess. I actually first thought he was a regular lost user who had wound up on some random talk page and was asking for help on how to set up an article about "Workingharderthanever". Wow! His own ignorance or incompetence, coupled with his stubbornness and sock/meatpuppetry is entirely responsible for more eyes being drawn to that stub. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:43, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

what I mean is I need another admin to look at it 'cause I recognize my own bias and cannot act on it. I pinged another admin, then they moved it kinda to draft space. Who nows, maybe he'll turn it into a featured article. (I doubt it) Dlohcierekim 06:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I wanted real bad to delete the thing, then he kept adding links, so glad I did not. Dlohcierekim 06:51, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I do not disagree with the "testy" attribution I have earned. :) However we have a character out in the wild who knows nothing of the culture and thinks that saturating the talk page with transparent protests is going to affect change. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:48, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

UPDATE: I made contact with WikiProject LGBT studies here, because I'd rather have people familiar with LGBT subjects and possibly the article subject deciding who's important, who's nobody, and who's a sockpuppet! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Good. More eyes, hands and brains. If they'd put forth thi level of effort during the AfD, they might have had a different outcome. If they'd done it before moving to article space after being declined at AfC, we could have avoided ulceration of our gastric mucosa. Dlohcierekim 07:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not a doctor, and I don't even know anything about science, but I want you to take it easy this week. Keep your feet up, or down if they're more comfortable. Stay away from acidic foods, but also don't eat ammonia, because bases aren't going to do your mucosa any good. Just keep it cool! But not too cool that you get hypothermia. Look, what I'm trying to say is, just play it medium this week. Just right down the middle. Chillax a little. But not too much that your muscles atrophy! But like I said, I'm not a doctor.

Svetlana Kirilovskaya PROD - Fictional?

Thank you for the feedback.  :)

The author of the Svetlana Kirilovskaya article has also created at least two other Misplaced Pages articles with similar issues -- inconsistent dates, anachronisms e.g. St Petersburg did not exist in the 15th century, and links to real people who were not alive at the time of the person being written about. I will be interested to see if /when I get a reaction from the author of the articles. Where not already reverted, I am reverting all inappropriate changes made by the author to other pages as I find them. --Chewings72 (talk) 00:52, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Looking into the details of the helpme queries...

...please do it.

At this one (the revision I'm seeing now), Jaypronx had already initiated a more detailed query at the article talk page: losing the thread, as well as ranting about your weird experiences with an emphasis on the rubbish Misplaced Pages receives, in response to the poorly shaped cross-posted question, seems uninformative.

--Gryllida (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Gryllida:, I appreciate your input, and for finding the other thread that Jaypronx initiated, which I was not aware of. I was attempting a timely response to the help request, which I deliberately did not close out so that other users who might be more knowledgeable on that specific subject could contribute. As for my ramble, it was meant in good humor to illustrate the extreme of unreliable content, and I balanced the humor with what I believe to be solid information about article neutrality, and what sort of sources the user would need to use for the balance to be considered appropriate. As for the humor employed, there is no rule against using humor, in fact, there is a barnstar for it, and I attempted to employ some to help defuse some of the editor's proclaimed frustration. If there's anybody who could or should complain about my reply, I would respectfully argue that it's Jaypronx. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Eh, I don't think the response would cause a complaint from Jaypronx, he may as-well just accept such response on his/her learning curve of the Misplaced Pages environment. :-)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale

Hello Cyphoidbomb. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. A7 does not apply to films.

Generally, when you tag a page for speedy deletion, you should copy to the author's talk page the warning notice which is generated at the bottom of the speedy template when it is expanded on the article. Otherwise the newbie author doesn't know what happened to their article, thinks they pressed the wrong button, and probably puts it straight in again. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for that, @JohnCD:. I wasn't aware that it didn't apply to films. I also appreciate your note about notifying the author. I typically use Twinkle, which notifies the contributor, but obviously I have to pay attention to that in the future if I manually add a template as I think I might have done here. Thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I moved the page guillermo_maldonado_(pastor) to the Guillermo Maldonado since the other entry Guillermo_maldonado_(racing) had incomplete reference and was an incomplete article marked as a stub. I did not know there had to be a discussion, sorry about that. Please feel more than free to move everything back.

Johnny Test

I don't know whether it properly belongs there or not either, but it is in the "Teletoon original series" template and is listed at List of Teletoon original series — so if it is in fact wrong, then those have to be corrected as well, rather than just reverting the addition of a category that both the list and the template are indicating is correct. Bearcat (talk) 23:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

@Bearcat: Hi, sorry, I think I may have botched this one. I've self reverted. My apologies! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

No worries. Just for the record, what happened is that {{Teletoon}} used to directly transclude the category onto the articles, but somebody changed that a couple of days ago because templates aren't really supposed to be doing that. But their edit had the obvious side effect of depopulating the entire category, so what I've been doing is to manually repopulate the category by adding the category directly to the articles instead of the artificial transclusion. I can't guarantee that every article that's in the list and template actually belongs there, because AWB isn't a very good tool for reviewing the substance of an article, but all I've really been doing is restoring a category that the articles were already in before the template was edited. I would certainly suggest that somebody who has a lot more knowledge than I do about what shows are or aren't really Teletoon originals should maybe review the template and list to remove inappropriate entries, though — so just to let you know, I'm going to post a request for someone at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Animation to take a look at the list and template.

Template:HD

For the most part, the templates listed at Template:HD generally have not been used at the Help Desk for a while (as far as I know). The Template:HD page was last edited in 2010, and then 2009 and 2008 before that. I ran across the template page while looking for something else and thought others at the Help Desk might find it useful since the advise provided by the templates looks valuable in helping answer questions at the Help Desk. If I used one of the templates, I personally would just copy and paste the subst form since I don't use Twinkle. -- Jreferee (talk) 12:19, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Vishwakarma

I'm sorry for not commenting at Talk:Vishwakarma (caste) but you'll probably have noticed that I and others have spent over six months trying to get Ganesh to see sense regarding our policies. I'm fed up of it and I think that it is best to let some new, uninvolved people have a say. WP:CIR comes to mind. - Sitush (talk) 13:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

@Sitush: Hi, I haven't even gotten farther than the talk page! Based on the way they gloss over anything I or anyone else had to say, it seems pretty clear that the user is incapable of seeing another perspective, or considering that they could be wrong. My guess is the show will go like this: He will continue this pattern of excoriating the people with whom he disagrees, someone will bring him to ANI for disruption, the community will find him irrational and disruptive, they'll institute a topic ban, and this will make him more resolute in his paranoia that there is a global Misplaced Pages conspiracy to suppress his perspective, and he'll rant about that and who knows what else. But man, I hope there is no conspiracy because if there is I'll feel like a fool! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:31, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

There is no conspiracy. If this ends up at ANI then the floor will be wiped because I've garnered a very healthy respect there for my work on caste-related stuff. It would, however, be simpler if a passing admin would deploy WP:GS/Caste and institute a topic ban that way - it's the entire purpose of the thing. - Sitush (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

CHIKARA Season Five

Thank you for looking at the page. I just wanted to comment on the issues you left. CHIKARA is a professional wrestling company. Wrestling is made up of stories, which explains why it sounds like a plot summary. However, the stories are real in the context of the company and in professional wrestling. Unlike many other companies, CHIKARA is very detailed and in-depth. This is an overview. Please see my comment above on wrestling being made up of stories. It's not a dry, scientific medium, but rather an artistic/creative one, so the entry will reflect that. However, it is not any less correct or factual. Everything in there is correct and did occur as written. BabsChikara (talk) 20:38, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Good call on Athul noble (talk). I'm glad the admins agreed. One addition here and there would have been one thing, but this guy was really spamming that site. Thanks for inviting my comments. I sincerely appreciate that. —Josh3580_talk/hist 07:09, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

@Josh3580: Yeah! I appreciate that you took a moment to toss in your chips. That doesn't always happen, so thank you for the assist! Going to RSN was a formality. It's clear that it is not a reliable source, and the shady behaviour of the main actor, who appeared to be here only to spam his site, was offensive. And his defense of "Why my website is considered as spam all others are doing the same." is just face-palmingly pitiful. I've reported the site for blacklisting, but I have no experience doing that, so I don't expect much, especially since this was essentially a manageable spam campaign. I've gone through a bunch of articles and reverted all obvious instances of the site. Hopefully the two of us will be able to remember that "r4rating=crap4ever". Zing! Thanks again, m'man. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:23, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

No problemo. Any time. And crap4ever it is. —Josh3580_talk/hist 08:22, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I saw the blacklisting was denied but only because it was from one user. If you see it being added anywhere else (and remember you can use the linksearch from the spam report!) by another user, put it back on the list and reference that previous report! I so despise spammers ... Ravensfire (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Is A Different Vandal

Hi, thanks for the heads up, but, this is a different vandal, as its MO is different from Treloc's. This vandal's MO is to rewrite the fossil range of various prehistoric mammal taxoboxes to restrict the taxon to the Pleistocene, apparently in an attempt to erase mention of the Miocene and Pliocene. Sometimes, it tries to rewrite that a taxon is restricted to the US even though it isn't.--Mr Fink (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey bud,

I admit it. I am not impartial. What I am is a sceptic, but not a conspiracy theorist. I do read scientific stuff and I hardly ever disagree (I have never disagreed) with a scientific view. The article about Anita Sarkeesian and her Tropes vs Women video series is one I find troubling because I can't find any other study to support its claims. And I have read all I could find, any gender book in games and they had somewhat different views. Here is AS masters thesis, please read and explain it to me or anybody. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v0rrbrtedng1u8q/jczwW28oyx

My recent edits to The Problem Solverz

3 days ago, I made some edits to The Problem Solverz, stating how the show got a negative reception, but all of the sudden, I discovered that it was removed because there was no reliable source. And I don't know how to include citations on Misplaced Pages even though some articles may not provide sources. TheRocknRollPat (talk) 03:39, 16 February 2014 (UTC)TheRocknRollPat

Hi @TheRocknRollPat: Pat, thanks for reaching out. I removed your edit here for the reason stated in the edit summary: "Unsourced, and the opinions of anonymous cranks don't typically deserve mention in encyclopedias." While you assert that the series "was poorly received by critics and audiences alike", the only reception that matters are the critical responses from reviewers who ply their trade behind the walls of reliable sources. Stating that random users didn't like the show for XYZ reasons does not make a reliable assertion. Every idiot on the internet has an opinion (myself included) but those opinions aren't worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Though your personal understanding of the series might suggest that the colors were too bright, or whatever, unless these conclusions are drawn by reliable sources, they constitute original research and should be cut. Since you were asking about how to reference sources, that functionality is built in. When you open your edit window, hover over "Cite", pull down the Template drop-down, select "Cite web" and fill in the blanks. Or you can review WP:REFB. The page on reliable sources defines the type of references that are considered appropriate for inclusion. There are no allowances for sites like Yahoo! Answers or for the selection of opinions from message boards/forums, blogs, etc. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Thunder26.99 I reverted your edits because you are adding massive amounts of parental TV ratings with non-standard formatting (maybe you're just using tabs?), you're not using edit summaries, and there is no indication of where this information is coming from.

Drishyam

I believe I have done fair editing before updating the header Criticism, but as you removed it, you could have done the changes you wanted for that section rather than completely removing it as it is an important section where the police officers critized the film for many reasons, moreover your editing would have been a learning process for me. Please do it Rajeshbieee (talk) 22:43, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

@Rajeshbieee: Hi, yes, I could have done the changes--conceivably, but A) Copyright violations should be removed ASAP. B) Your suggestion shifts the burden of work onto me, C) There is no indication that the source provided is a reliable source. So upon what would I base the criticism? I don't have a problem with the Criticism section existing (it probably should go under Reception, though). So if you find some reliable sources, then we can talk about how to incorporate the content on the article's talk page. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:55, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

re: D-styles

Thanks for the help. I think it must have a link that's triggering it not to save. Is there a way for me to figure out what link it is? D-styles is certainly notable altho the genre is admittedly niche so I don't know how that effects it. Altho considering the other turntablists with pages it's rather shocking he doesn't have an entry since he's considered one of the 3 best scratch/turntablists in the world. I'm going to try the articles for creation route and see if that works. Thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djdiggla (talk • contribs) 19:34, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

@Djdiggla: You're welcome. I would imagine, though I can't say for sure, that there is a fairly specific message reported to users when they do the thing that you are doing, and it should indicate whether you're triggering the spam filter, or some other filter. If you happened to save the article on your computer, you could try pasting it in your sandbox to see if it gets tripped again. As a work-around, you could either set up the article (via AFC or in your sandbox) without specific references, then add them back in one-by-one to see which one is the offender. Or, you might be able to avoid the filter by removing the "http://www", but of course we couldn't leave the article that way. You could also just search the Spam-blacklist for your links.

There is proof

There is proof that the movie exists. On March 6, 2014 Ben Bouquet confirmed that a Gumball movie titled The Amazing Movie of Gumball was to be released in cinemas on March 10, 2016 about Kenneth from the Microwave returning and planning to eat everybody in the entire universe and Gumball and Darwin having to stop him. A sequel was also confirmed titled The Amazing Movie of Gumball 2 and will be released in cinemas on March 11, 2021. It is about Sal Left Thumb the footprint guy from the Spoon returning to get revenge on Nicole by killing her for knocking him unconscious with a frozen sausage and telling him not to call people suckers. This is definitely correct it has been confirmed. http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/The_Amazing_Movie_of_Gumball. 118.92.41.133 (talk) 16:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

118.92.41.133 Wikia does not count as "proof". IMDb doesn't count as proof. Misplaced Pages doesn't count as proof. They're all user-contributed. Proof comes in the form of coverage in reliable sources like newspapers, magazines, or trade websites like Variety or Hollywood Reporter.

Hi, if you don't intend to file a Sockpuppet investigation report, but plan to template instead, I think you should probably be using the {{sockpuppet|username}} template, and I believe that goes on their USER page. (I say this having perhaps mistakenly applied it to a sockpuppet's talk page recently by mistake.) Although when the "sockpuppet investigation" link is red, it's kind of a bummer, so maybe it would be best to open an SPI in the future if you're feeling inclined? Personally I don't notify socks, because they typically know they're socks, and because fuck 'em; instead of feeding the poor or purifying drinking water in developing nations, they're only here to waste your time.
